He is mental. Always he talks the same way.

[belateepertin]

Sambit Patra has gone insane. The lowest limit of blind sychopantcy.

[rajarshidas]

Using lord Jagannath as a toolkit for personal agenda…just think…how these chaddi Bhakts in the comments section would react if the same remark was made by any congress or communist leaders

[suchi]

If this mistaken V.K. Pandiyan would have made, you people would have ruined his career saying outsider.

[KSGitaTV]

Arrogance not slip of tongue, Patra you and Nirmala seetharaman will get punished soon. Shame on you guys.

[ramaswamysundaram]

The person who knows about Lord Jagannath will have some sense and talk abd the arrogance is to the core .

[frozen.-]

He said this purposely, he knows what he is saying, because for them Modi is God

[agsitaraman]

Excessive devotion to individuals leads to this

[ashishmandal]

Insane minds wala leader nahi ho sakta

[vivekb]

It’s a slip of tongue. He apologised. How many time congress apologised and papu. So see it in context.

[amitavadas]

This" slip of tongue " will cost him very dearly. Now time has come when he should be shown the door by the voters of Puri. He will be paid by his own coin for all the statements made, all the abuses hurled, all the hatred unleashed over the last few years as a spokesperson of that party. Hopefully he will have a poetic justice this time also.

[raghavendravishwas]

Now Modi will be angry coz Sambit Patra apologized 😂😂

[chittella]

Aap se bada galti nahi, ghor paap hua. Iski saja khud mahaprabhu Jagannadh denge. Jai Jagannadh.

[dillipbaral]

It is understood. Lord Jagannath is for the bhakt & he knows all our mind.

[Useri]

He is giving proof for his mistake. So it was truly a mistake.
